Cropmarks which have possibly formed over an infilled ditch of uncertain date, but which resembles a prehistoric ring ditch are visible on aerial photographs of 1999, at Holbrook Farm. The circular cropmark, which is fairly poorly defined, measures approximately 30m in diameter and is sited towards the crest of a prominent spur, on the eastern side of Holbrook Farm. The nature of the cropmark should, however, be viewed with some degree of caution and may be the result of some modern agricultural practice, particularly likely given its close proximity to the farm. The cropmarks are not visible on other aerial photographs made available to the survey.
